as TO DEMOCRACY.

Future Democratic campaigns in Texas
will not be marked by efforts to ostracise
men for votes cast on the prohibition
amendment, save by those who may de-
sire to disrupt the Democratic party.
That much is settled now. There are
many and distinguished Democrats
who oppose the amendment, and,
whatever the doubt before, the
prohibition mass meeting at Fort Worth
demonstrated that there are many and
distinguished Democrats who favor the
amendment. No man noting the pres
ence in this city OF SO many prom
inent Democrats can believe that
partisan fealty is involved
in this contest. Among ttne Tany repre-
sentative Democratic statesmen orators
and workers present as participants were
ex-senator MeXeg, Congressman L2nAam,
Judges Henry, Piner and Potter, Dr.
SwearingeE, Messrs. HerndOn, Bonner,
Swain, duncan, Wynne, Poildexter, Fur
man, Matlock, Leggett, Crawford,
Bailey, Taylor Moore, Blair, Ligntfoot,
Wood, Carter, Jarvis, VGnZsndt, Ward;
Beckhsm, Simkins, Stephens, Martin,
Walton, Kittrell, Wooten and others.
These distinguished names set opposite
those of their Democratic brethren in the
ranks of anti-Prohioition divest the
struggle Of ali partisan bias, and the
amendment is in the hands of the people
free Of all partisan ENHANCEMENT,

GLORIOTH RALNS-

THE GAZETTE specials keep up pretty
good report Of general rains throughout
the state, from which we must believe
that the drouth has not only received s
broken back, but every time it endeevors
to rise it is pummelled again and again by
old Jupiter PIuvius, until 1t is reduced
permanently TO g total wreck. There can
be no drouth in Texas this season capable
of doing any harm. The moisture already
in the ground is sufficient to insure g
bounteous crop, and people who once
lost faith can now take heart and believe
n the future greatness of Texas. 1t
is fact which each succeeding
year demonstrates, that the rain belt
moves westward every year and that the
rainfall increases as the country is opened
up If the practice would become gen.
eral of planting trees in North and West
Texas the question of an abundance Of
rain would soon be settled. Tarrsnt
county has been visited by one of the
most splendid rains of the season, and
the choking dust has once more been
driven under foot. O!her counties around
have also been blessed with fine showers,
so that the question is no longer Of max
ing crop, but of saving it.

TIE ALLIANCE EXCHANGE.


The Farmers Alliance of the state OF
Texas has concluded to select some
central point where q general exchange
will be opened for the purpose Of
handling the entire product of the state
OF Texas. There are several cities
making most strenuous efforts to secure
the location Of this institution, and II
must reasonably be expected mat which
ever city makes the best showing and
offers the best inducements will be
chosen. The Alliance members no longer
satisfy themselves with producing the
raw Material and turning it over to the
first purchaser that comes along.
They propose that in addition to
Producing the raw material they will fur
Their, still, continue in possession until q
purchaser can be found who actually
wants the staple for his factory, thus
eliminating the host Of middlemen and
saving to the producer al the expense
incurred by the support, maintenance and
profit OF these mIddlemen. The leading
members of the alliance have great faith
in the ultimate success of their project,
and, while their plans have so far been
wisely concealed from the public
and known only to themselves,
enough has been indicated to show
that they mean to have grand
state exchange, which will have divect
communication with the cotton factories,
both American and transatlantic, and this
exchange will have the control and dis
possl of all the crop produced by the ALI
ance in Texas. OF course this will be an
establishment larger than any other in the
state, or perhaps in the United States.
What the large Gotten brokers who are
here now, whether as spinners or truckers
agents, are engaged in will be 1Goncen-
trated at one place and carried on by q
set of chosen officers. When this
system is once adopted, it will
be one step towards making
the state exchange, an enormous depot

and farmers throughout. the.s state, II
will also be 9 step in the Direction Of
securing factories for tie conversion q
the raw material into aerchantabIe, .pr6E
ducts. Thus, it will be seen, that secur-
ing the location of the state exchange will
result in ever-incressing benefit to Whist
ever town secures it. Fort Worth has
the friendship Of many prominent and
influential members in the Alliance, and
she has many facilities acquired by the
energy and liberality OF her citizens, be
sides her natural advantages, but some
thing more is necessary to insure the
prize. Our town and county now have
this matter under advisement.

IT is gratifying to note that even in the
east there are CREST public journals that
do not shut their eyes to the truth about
the south. The Boston Herald says: ut
is very pleasant to observe that in the
discussion Of the battle flag question
almost every expression from the south
is good natured The south does not
want the flags; they are all right
where they are; they are not worth s
hard word or thought. This is
the universal sentiment from the south,
and il shames the perfervid eloquence Of
few northern politicians, with their
theatrical curses and desperate appesls.
Indeed, the discussion has not disturbed
the era of good feeling, but has confirmed
it, by showing how far the south has left
the war behind in its new record Of prog
ress and how easy it feels in its natural
relations under the old flag.

4 COUNTRY OF ROSES.
Blooming Fields of Bulgaria, Where Flo
ers Are Cultivated for Perfumes.

Bulgaris, the little country in Europe
which we hear so much about Of late, is g
verita5le rose garden in itself. In no
part of the world, says Mick's Magazine,
mas the cultivation of the rose come so
near perfection as in this small
state, and although the soil and
atmosphere of the country has much
TO do with the success of the work,
the native iIha bitants have made such g
long and careful study of the plant and
its needs that they have created wonders
out of their fields of blooming roses. As
is well known, the flowers are grown
there for the purpose of extracting the
precious aroma known as the "attar of
rose" but this circumstance does not
detraCt in the least from the appearance
of the roses. The bushes require COnsid-
cradle care and attention, and they are
seldom allowed 10 attain height OF over
six feet.
In the great rose gardens where the
flowers are raised for manufacturing the
''attsr Of rose" the bushes are seldom
grated or budded. The roots forming
the bushes Of young rose garden are
taken from the old bushes and carefully
buried with plenty of manure, where they

full growth in about five years, and for
fifteen years viii yield large crops Of
roses. When an old bud begins
to fail the bushes are cut away
and new shoots allowed TO spring
up, or the whole field plOwed up
and roots from another bed set out in
their place. Il successful rose grower
keeps several rose gardens at all times in
different stages of development, so that
when one garden begins to be unproduct-
I've another one is about ready 10 come
in. The roses blossom in the latter part
of May, when all the neighborhood is
employed in picking them and getting
them to the distillery.
In addition to the great industry of eX-
tracing the precious aroma from the
roses, the inhabitants Of Bulgaria make
quite q business Of exporting rose slips
and roots 10 different countries. The
facility with which the roses grow in the
fertile valleys of that country makes it
profitable business TO raise the bushes
for market. The cuttings for buds are
sent hundreds of miles, packed in long
grass aad surrounded with straw dis
posed lOngItudinally.

MILBsAND SCARLET. FEVER.
How Children May Drink IN Deadly Poison
With Their Daily Food.
Nov York Times

The scarlet fever mortality in 1880 in
the United States was I6,3SS, as recorded
by the Census Bureau. This mortality is
large enough to excite some interest in
the very successful experiments by which
MIR. Power and Dr.. Klein of London have
shown how scarlet fever is communicated
20 human beings from COWS by The milk
supply.
The scarlet fever epidemic which was
the subject of Mr.. Powers careful in
curry, occurred in the north of London
last winter, and the disease
was confined exclusively (aside from
cases of subsequent infection) to
those who used milk supplied from one
dairy farm in Hendon. It was clearly
shown that the milk had not absorbed the
contagion directly from human beings,
end had not been contaminated by IN
sanitary surroundings. The COWS sui
fered from disease very closely resem-
bling scarlet fever, though milder in
form, end it was this disease which had
been communiCat q to those who drank
the milk. II human beings it was scar
let fever without doubt.
10 the blood and tissues of persons
affected with scarlet fever g micrObe
identical in microsCopical and in cultural
character with that obtained from the
Hendon COWS has been found.
By repeated HeXperiments # has been
shown that the action of this microbe
upon COWS ard other animals is exactly
the same SIS that OF the micro5e taken
from the COWS at Hendon.
1t was suspected that certain brand
Of condensed milk hSd cRusnd gpqrIpt
fever in persons who used it. Several
cans Of this milk, which is q cheap
were examined by the doc
tor. From one-third of those inspected
be obtained by cultivation a m:crobe |
which in every respect, morpholOgiCally !
md in culture, was the same as the mi !
2robe procured from the Hendon COWS |
and from human scarlet fever.

4 ZIG AUTHORIZATIONS MEET

IN u,
1t has been decided by the ants to have
q grand state rally at Fort Worth on the
26th inst. SO far as the entertainment Of
the visitors who will be here on that day
is concerned this rally should be made a
success by the united action of both ants
and pros. As TIE GAZETTE urged in be
half CT the big prohibition massmeeting,
nothing this city does to entertain its
guests can advance the cause in which
they ere battling. Fort Worth owes it to
Itself to favorably impress sll men
who enter its gates for either pleasure or
business, and mas reputation to sustain
Tor hospitality and courteous treatment
of all. Anti-ProhibitiOnists gave money
and encouragement to the entertainment
Of Prohibitionists last week, and on the
26th inst. the entertainment of anti-Pro-
hibitionists at Fort Worth should be made
successful and worthy of the city, by the
aid and encouragement of Prohibitionists.
The unity of purpose and concert of
action among the people of Fort Worth
in al matters affecting the progress and
good name Of the city are an actual stock
in trade worth more to Fort Worth than
even its OWL people realize. When visi-
tors see that men waive opinions and
prejudices 10 unite on hospitality that
affects the city's reputation, they can
but be impressed fayorably, not only
with the splendid spirit of our people but
with the results that must Inevitably be
accomplished with such spirit as the in
spiration and the agency.
This anti-prohioition rally will attract
men from all sections Of Texas. Desiring
to emulate, if not to surpass, their prohi-
bition opponents, they will gather here in
great numbers. They will be men of in
telligence meeting to listen to some of
the greatest orators IN the stste, and Fort
Worth will honor itself in It's hospitsble
reception of them. THE GAZETTE knows
that the year has been fruitful
OF happy results to Fort Worth; the fame
of this city has during 1857 been sounded
to Y ider limits and placed on more en-
during foundation than ever before, and
this paper, working first, last and all the
time for Fort Worth, knows that good
willa ne to its city from the grand anti.
